The Transport Squad Is in Position
The fastest way to get rich is, of course, robbery and plunder. Haven't you heard the saying, "Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts..."?
[Now, you're going to rob the Azure Cloud Sect's treasury...]
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
Your Dao Heart is as strong as gold, stronger than iron.
You sighed softly.
[Poverty is a disease, it's almost driving you, Spirit Transformation Divine Lord, insane.]
[You suppressed your impulse and began to methodically refine pills and cultivate your skills.]
[Now that you've reached the Spirit Transformation Stage, your daily limit for Pills has finally reached thirty.]
[Please calculate this carefully.]
[It takes approximately Forty Million Low-Grade Spirit Stone Equivalent of Pills to cultivate from the Early Spirit Transformation Stage to the Middle Spirit Transformation Stage.]
[And what you can currently refine in large quantities are mainly Qi-Gathering Pills.]
[If one consumes the maximum of thirty Qi-Gathering Pills per day, even without interruption, it would still take thirty-three years.]
[At this rate, by the time the great calamity affecting all four regions descends forty-two years from now, you'll at most have reached the Middle Spirit Transformation Stage.]
[Before that extraordinary power that could effortlessly obliterate Sacred Ground had stood for millennia, even a Spirit Transformation was but an ant.]
The dosage ratio of the Qi- Qi-Consolidating Pills must be increased as soon as possible.
[If we can obtain a bottle of Creation Spirit-Promoting Dew first, we can further accelerate the progress of obtaining the Lesser Creation Spirit-Stimulating Dew.]
[Creation Spirit-Promoting Dew, Doushu City, Gu Wusuan...]
[In the last simulation, it was this old monster at the Great Perfection of Spirit Transformation who first harbored murderous intent towards you.]
[In that case, it's fair that you kill him again this time, isn't it?]
Your eyes darkened slightly; you had already made up your mind.
On Xiaolai Peak, the fire in the Pill Furnace burns day and night.
[You summon the Moon Palace Fire-Devouring Furnace. The Little Toad will remain hidden unless absolutely necessary, pretending it's an ordinary Law Treasure without Artifact Spirit.]
[Work Buddy, effective.]
Your work efficiency has soared again.
[On this day, as you were the Unseen, you suddenly sensed a profound and mysterious opportunity.]
The time has come.
[You open your eyes and take out a piece of Mystic Marrow Essence Jade from your Storage Ring.]
[You point your fingers like a sword, Spiritual Power surging from your fingertips.]
[The Artisan Spirit is now in effect.]
[Cost Reduction and Efficiency Improvement, effective.]
[Multiskilling, effective.]
[Various Trait are in effect...]
[Your fingertips traced rapidly across the Mystic Marrow Essence Jade, etching intricate runes into its interior.]
Two hours later, the Mystic Marrow Essence Jade emitted an extremely faint, crisp sound and cracked open.
[Divided into two.]
[A pure white Yin talisman and a dark Yang talisman float silently before you.]
[The Heguang Tongchen Talisman is complete.]
[Put away the Heguang Talisman and imprint your Divine Sense into the Dust-Sharing Yang Talisman.]
[You raise your head. In your perception, the Karmic Thread that had once faintly connected with the Military Breaker Star has been completely severed.]
[You were reduced from the chessboard of Heavenly Secrets to a mere speck of dust.]
[Your sense of security has greatly increased. As long as you don't actively cause trouble, even a powerful being in the Body Integration Realm won't be able to deduce you from the vast sea of people.]
Now that the destiny has been concealed, it's time to put that Dark Hall team in the Yi Wood Middle Domain on the agenda.
The leader of this Dark Hall squad is a Nascent Soul Perfection.
[A family fortune at the peak of the Nascent Soul Perfection should be enough for you to cultivate for several days.]
[In the last simulation, you sent Crow-Crow to deliver Magic Talisman to Ye Zhi, warning him that someone was trying to ambush him.]
[You didn't intervene personally that time because you were afraid of being discovered by the person behind it.]
[But now, you hold the Heguang Tongchen Talisman, and have even erased cause and effect with the Great Sun First-Emptiness Seal.]
[Double insurance.]
Who could possibly blame you?
[You've decided to pull off a heist, and while you're at it, see if you can gather any more information from this transport team besides Soul Search.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Without further ado, don the Formless Myriad-Breath Cloak and personally fly to the Yi Wood Middle Domain. Same old routine: poison, Soul Search, kill, loot the corpse—a one-stop service.]
[B: As a Spirit Transformation Divine Lord, how can you personally do such menial errands and robberies? Crow-Crow, it's your turn to go to work.]
[C: Send a message to the leader of the Dark Hall, telling him that purchasing the Azure Cloud Sect's Little Smart Communication Formation package will grant him immunity from death, and instruct him to bring his entire fortune to Xiaolai Peak to sign the contract.]
Lu Ping twitched the corner of his mouth.
The essence of old silver coins lies in the ability to kill without ever meeting the victim.
Moreover, Crow-Crow has indeed been out of work for far too long.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[An ordinary Crow flies out from Xiaolai Peak.]
[It flapped its wings, plunged into the clouds, and disappeared in a flash.]
[A few days later.]
[On the edge of the Yi Wood Domain, in Savage Wilderness Expanse.]
[The Spiritual Qi here is so thin it's almost arid, with ordinary villages scattered throughout.]
A six-person team, dressed in black, sped through the mountains and forests.
[The leader's aura was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean; he was none other than the leader of the Dark Hall, Nascent Soul Perfection at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.]
[Five Golden Core cultivators followed behind, each one taciturn.]
[After crossing another hill, wisps of smoke could be seen rising from the valley ahead.]
[That was an ordinary village.]
[A Golden Core cultivator stopped and asked in a low voice.]
"Boss, there isn't even a low-level cultivator in this Savage Wilderness Expanse. What are we even doing here? The second half of the mission hasn't been explained yet, and the brothers are all unsure."
The leader kept walking, without turning his head.
"What else can we, the Dark Hall, do after we leave? Nothing but kill."
The subordinate paused for a moment.
"Murder? Here? Could it be some wanted criminal from the Upper Domain who fled all the way to a place like this?"
The leader of the Dark Hall turned around.
His gaze swept across the subordinate's face.
"No, not really. To be honest, I didn't quite understand this mission either. It was classified as top secret; they only said there were a few unusual Heavenly Secrets phenomena in certain areas."
He raised his hand and pointed to the village in the distance.
"That village ahead is one of our destinations. Now that we've reached that territory, it's time to tell you the next requirement. The mission is to slaughter the entire village, leaving no one alive."
The five Golden Core cultivators exchanged bewildered glances.
[Killing mortals?]
[The Dark Hall dispatched one Nascent Soul and five Golden Core cultivators from the Azure Dragon Upper Domain to the Savage Wilderness Expanse, just to slaughter a few mortal villages?]
The subordinate opened his mouth, then continued to ask.
"Could it be that some secret treasure has appeared beneath this village? Or is some old monster being reincarnated here?"
The Dark Hall leader's expression darkened, and his imposing aura suddenly slammed down on his subordinate.
The subordinate crashed to the ground from the air.
[The leader's gaze swept over the remaining four people, and he said coldly,]
"I brought you all out here, letting you run wild for a few days. Have you forgotten all the rules of the palace?"
Don't ask questions you shouldn't!
"Be quick and efficient in your actions. Clean this up within half an hour. If anyone escapes, I'll skin them alive."
The men immediately fell silent, heads bowed, not daring to even breathe.
[After the leader finished reprimanding his men and was about to continue on his way, a ball of crimson flame exploded in mid-air without warning.]
